[gentoo-user] chrony logrotate script EOF error

[gentoo-user] chrony logrotate script EOF error

Hi All,

The chrony installed logrotate script keeps erroring out:
========================================================
logrotate_script: line 5: warning: here-document at line 2 delimited by end-
of-file (wanted `EOF')
Unrecognized command
========================================================

This is the script:
========================================================
/var/log/chrony/*.log {
	sharedscripts
	postrotate
                PASSWORD=`awk '$1 ~ /^1$/ {print $2; exit}' 
/etc/chrony/chrony.keys`
                cat << EOF | /usr/bin/chronyc | sed '/^200 OK$/d'
                password $PASSWORD
                cyclelogs
                EOF
        endscript
}
========================================================

I do not understand the error.  Is it telling me to add backticks?  Where?

Mick

I don't know the logrotate syntax, but in bash this would not work if the 
ending EOF has leading whitespace. Try replacing the '<<' by '<<-', then 
whitespace is allowed.

Thanks!  I've used your suggestion and will see if the error goes away.

Apparently, though unproven, at 12:11 on Sunday 22 August 2010, Mick did opine 
thusly:

No, it's saying it wants EOF on a line all by itself with no leading 
whitespace. That thing that looks like a backtick is an open quote.

Hmm ... so what should the corrected logrotate script look like then?

       cat << 
EOF
       | /usr/bin/chronyc | sed '/^200 OK$/d'
       password $PASSWORD
       cyclelogs
       EOF
endscript
}

Change the other EOF instead.

It's a "here document", search for that phrase in man bash to find out more. 
It tells bash what will cause input redirection from stdin to end. The first 
EOF is the string to look for, the second one is the trigger that ends input
